Our 2008 house frame complete!
Seen here is the final part of the the roofing component to house construction.
These students are shown putting up trusses to meet up with the hand cut roof competed earlier in the course.
This house is built as an entire frame as a normal house would be, but is scaled down to reduce heights and make the project manageable in the time allowed within the course.
